Nebraska Revised Statute 79-1029

79-1029.
Budget authority
for general fund budget of expenditures; Class II, III, IV, V,
or VI district may exceed; procedure.

A Class II, III, IV, V, or VI district may exceed
the budget authority for the general fund
budget of expenditures prescribed in section 79-1023 by an amount
approved by a majority of legal voters voting on the issue at a primary, general,
or special election called for such purpose upon the recommendation of the
board or upon the receipt by the county clerk or election commissioner of
a petition requesting an election, signed by at least five percent of the
legal voters of the district. The recommendation of the board or the petition
of the legal voters shall include the amount by which the board would increase
its general fund budget of expenditures for the ensuing school year over and
above the budget authority for the general fund
budget of expenditures prescribed in section 79-1023. The county
clerk or election commissioner shall place the question on the primary or
general election ballot or call for a special election on the issue after
the receipt of such board recommendation or legal voter petition. The election
shall be held pursuant to the Election Act or section 77-3444, and all costs
for a special election shall be paid by the district. A vote to exceed the budget authority for the general fund
budget of expenditures prescribed in section 79-1023 may be approved
on the same question as a vote to exceed the levy limits provided in section 77-3444.
